Let's face it, there are a lot of gaming remasters and next-gen ports floating around right now. Such as Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, Resident Evil, Diablo III, GTA V, Metro, Saints Row IV among many, many others. A few of them I am OK with, and a few of them I see little - to no - point in. Regardless of how I feel about those that are already out, or about to be out, here are a few that I would like to eventually see. Honestly though, I can only see one or two of these being an actual possibility, but I can dream.
To help keep this post realistic, I am only going to take into consideration recent games. Of course I would love to see a remaster/remake of games like Rock N Roll Racing, or something like that. But maybe that list is better saved for another post?
#1. Mass Effect Trilogy Who wouldn't love going back and playing through the story of Shepard once again in full 60+FPS, 4k UHD glory? Remaster the first game, to make it play more like Mass Effect 2 and 3 (this is just popular opinion. I'd honestly be okay if they didn't do that), and beef up the graphics (although some parts of Mass Effect 1 still look gorgeous, IMO. Such as the Citadel). Then slightly touch up Mass Effect 2 & 3, throw in all the DLC of all games and then package it up real nicely and BOOM! Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered. Would be nice if they added a little something extra at the end of Mass Effect 3 as a little bonus as well, to either tease more about the ending of Mass Effect 3 (mainly the breath scene), or at the very least tease us about a new Mass Effect.
Update: Rumors have been circulating for awhile that this is happening. I wish they would just save it for PS5/XBox X, since they are around the corner, to upgrade them even further. But I am still happy it is happening.
#2. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1 and Sith Lords) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is just plain awesome. While the first game feels more "Star Wars-y" and the 2nd one just feeling more typical RPG with some Star Wars elements thrown in. Both are perfectly fine with me. Remaster them both in full HD and then throw in some of the stuff that was cut (due to time restraints) in Sith Lords and there you go. An awesome experience to be had again. ...Again again. And again. I'd platinum the hell out of those games for sure!
#3. Fallout 3 Fallout 3 was pretty much the first PS3/360 game that bumped me into truly loving that "next-gen" feel of those consoles. The moment I stepped out of the vault, and looked over the wasteland, I knew I had found the "next-gen" game for me. I own Fallout 3 for both 360 and PS3, with all DLC on both. I have the Platinum trophy for it on PS3 and over 1,000 GS on 360, with over 400 hours combined between the two. I even wrote out a little guide to my own personal "perfect character" for myself and my friends. To say that I love Fallout 3 would be quite the understatement.
#4. The Witcher 1 & 2 ("The White Wolf Collection")
"The White Wolf Collection" is just a personal idea I had for the title of the remastered packaged deal. I would love to see The Witcher 1 and 2 both remastered and released for all consoles. Maybe update the combat to Witcher 1 (it was awkward a bit at first, but I got used to it pretty fast.), give them both shiny new coat of graphics. Maybe update some of the voice over work from the first game. Regardless to whatever they would maybe decide to do with it, I know this is one remastered collection that I would pre-order so dang fast that my debit card would be smoking from my quick draw.
#5. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
While I highly enjoy Skyrim, there is just something about Oblivion that I will always love. The amazing soundtrack is probably one of them. Plus, once I finally figured out how the whole leveling system worked, I made my own custom class to help level me with stuff that I knew I'd be using. Thanks to Oblivion, I jump around all the damn time in pretty much every Bethesda game now. Ha ha ha. Anyways... To have Oblivion on PS5 with upgraded graphics would be amazing. Not to say that the game looks bad, or anything, but you can't deny that the graphics are a little dated now.
